The death of a Jamaican man's father raises questions about the father's political endeavors, and about the plight of 1980s Jamaica.
Kwame Dawes has been named a 2019 Windham-Campbell Prize Recipient in poetry
"Few other novels encapsulate Jamaica's political upheavals so well. Protagonist Ferron Morgan agonizes over his father's death, maybe from a doctor's mistake, maybe from a radical rival's hands. Meanwhile, he's running from everything, including his own emotions about his fiance--with sad results. Bivouac is not an easy or light book, but the immediacy Dawes creates is worth it."
